Wilf and its not close. Yala is playing regularly, with confidence in a in form side, Wilf is not. But his skill is twice as good as Bolasie's and Bolasie makes defenders look like fools. There is a reason why Fergie shelled 15 million out for him. BUT still a big Bolasie fan haha

Not short memories it is just Wilf has been pretty s***e in the premier league Yannick hasn't.

You say that but his assist to game ratio is higher than Bolasie and, as you say he's not been playing that well. It says a lot really, for those who want to see.

Zaha. People seem quick to forget how good Wilf was for us. In my opinion, the best Palace player in 15 years.

The comparison here is between Bolasie who is in the form of his life against a guy who is not getting a run of games in a crap team, who was made to play 6 months in the United reserves. There's a reason why the best ever manager in English football splashed £15m on him.

Bolasie for his overall attitude, willingness to defend as well as bomb forward and provide assists, is unvaluable part of why we have been so successful recently. If only he could finish!

For me though Zaha on form is the more talented player, and can be a match winner on his day. However if the attitude is not right it counts for little.

Would love to have seen them work together in the prem, however it wasn't to be. I'm just hope Bolasie learns from Wilf the grass isnt always greener elsewhere and signs a new deal.

Let's all celebrate a fantastic season and start building for next year!

Interesting that you mildly criticise Wilfs attitude.whats this based on? Also interesting that you believe it was his choice to leave, I'd suggest that decision was 99% down to the board.

Last season I thought Bolasie was more imporatnt but then Wilf turned in 2 amazing perfromances being the playoffs.
Bolasie could be so much better but it concerns me at how poorly he shoots. Love the bloke but more quality end product required.

They have both played a similar number of games for Palace and taking stock of what both have shown the question was simply which one would you choose for next season knowing what we know so far? Not so much a comparison but a straight choice.

On a level playing field, with both at their best it would be Zaha hands down.

Wilf's assists and scoring record far outweighed Bolasie's last year.

Bolasie has improved but has still yet to score although his all round game has improved.

Sadly Zaha has had the confidence knocked out of him and is a shadow of his former self.

I'd love Pulis to get hold of him and restore him to full power...... you never know, he might be back at SE25 next season!

But assist rates can be misleading. Look at the first goal against Everton. Yannick created the opportunity but Chamakh got the assist. I have watched lots of Wilf at Cardiff he loses the ball so much. Premier League Full backs fear the pace and strength of Yannick. Not so much the tricks that Zaha does.

Worth remembering their ages as well, Bolasie is 3 years older than Wilf and thus should be better developed.

If they're both at the top of their game, Zaha is far superior, as last season proved.

Bolasie is in better form, Zaha is the better player.

But then comparing a player left our to dry after his dream move and one who has stayed with the team he knew and given 100% faith/support is also misleading.

Bolasie was not the player he is now at the start of the season. He has really upped his game since the turn of the year. Zaha hasn't had that chance and basically been told he couldn't come back to us and then thrown into a struggling team with a manager who is very inexperienced after 5 months of no competitive football.

Don't forget he was voted player of the pre-season for Utd.

I'm not putting Bolasie down in any way but I think the critics of Zaha are forgetting the season he has actually had.
